Default Re: Circuit Symbols For Diagrams

Hi Chris
A good idea but I think the file type you have chosen to save them in is not very useful.
I get the following when I open them
Click image for larger version

Name:	Image1.jpg

Why not use a more compatible vector file, something like Windows Meta File or WMF.

That overwritten text is being generated on your own computer at a guess, I don't see it on mine.

Maybe, I opened the svg file in Irfanview, it was all I had to view or use the file, other than firefox but that is not very useful, you cant use the images in firefox.

Mike
Sorry correction, the SVG file format seems to be registered to open in Internet Explorer.

You should be able to open the .svg files in GIMP, a Free and Open Source graphics editor which can then be used for drawing circuits. It's not easy to use at first, but worth persevering until you get the hang of it. There are plenty of tutorials online; so just keep trying until you find one that suits your learning style, then work through it.
